Love this work by Sumita Maharaj at Re. The Mistranslations Project was created in response to non-sensical COVID-19 messaging released by the Australian government. It asked linguistically diverse creatives to reimagine this messaging in their own language. By actively engaging those directly impacted, it aimed to show a more inclusive and effective way to reach diverse communities with critical information.

Lovely flip-book that illustrates the two sides of ABC Arizona, a variable font released by Dinamo that can modulate between serif and sans-serif.
The type specimen, by studio Hanzer Licini, mirrors Arizona’s countless combinations through its split structure and ability to mix and match.
The UK is definitely 'Fragile' at the moment. This is a lovely idea and art piece by Sarah Boris. It's silkscreened in 8 layers with a special red and blue mix plus varnish. The sreenprint is available for purchase here. Follow Sarah on her instagram: @sarahboris_ldn
‘Nothing Like Something’ is a first edition solo publication by Street Photographer Nils Jorgensen, a carefully crafted art book designed by Studio Sutherl&.
The book design is a beautifully simple embodiment of Nils' playful process in curating the book. In Nils' own words,“I liked the idea of a random photo sequence. It is all akin to street photography itself, the beauty of chance visual happenings. The 100 featured photographs in the book are not in a particular order. The final sequence came about by shuffling the photos like a pack of cards”.
By leaving the cover blank albeit for two debossed panels (NOTHING) Studio Sutherl& invite the viewer to experience the joyous nature of juxtaposing different images with an accompanying box of adhesive photographs (SOMETHING), allowing them to customise their own book with a unique combination, lovely stuff.
One of those chef's-kiss logo ideas that requires no explanation. And a sharp, simple identity system built around it. Classic.
Say it how it is. This is exactly what I would want the juice, in fact everything in my refrigerator to look like. Solid color and beautiful typography. Ragged Edge built an extremely ordinary packaging system for extremely ordinary juice. Without saying anything it exudes freshness and taste. Brilliant idea, beautifully crafted.
To Have & To Hold is an edition documenting paper bag ephemera from a bygone era. Collected and designed by Tim Sumner of Sumner-Works, issue one takes a deep dive into bookshops with promise of many more subjects to come.
The publication itself comes wrapped in paper bag, with classic price labels used to hand number each copy. For more information see here.
